Conjuring the Genie (2021) User Reviews

Not bad not great

[twalchusky-707-34837 · 5/10 · 11 August 2021]

I think the 1s are a little bit over dramatic. Let's get that out of the way first.

You know what your getting with this. A time killer. You're not going to get an Oscar award winner here.

However. I felt the special effects were decent.the acting was "ok". The story was fairly well thought out. I don't exactly know what everyone's problem was with it. So what if the creatures face doesn't move. Enjoy it for what the movie is. A 90 minute time waster to hold you over . Not exactly a bad deal. Give it an actual chance and who knows you might have a good although forgettable time with it.

Wishmaster V: Beyond the Budget's Licensing Ability

[shughm · 3/10 · 4 August 2021]

I remember some weird kid in a mask running around and talking to a variety of random people. I think there was a wrestling subplot? Or maybe a dog that wished its parents back to life, so that it can yell at a pregnant lady?

Things did happen. I assume sequentially. This is a movie.

Save yourself some time and watch something else

[mzjonz-47363 · 3/10 · 23 July 2021]

If you're going to spend the time, money and effort to make a movie, why not spend the extra money on the actual genie?

The mouth doesn't move when he talks and the mask overall looks like plastic.

I also thought it was part of the conjuring series.

Just another b movie.

A movie that Just wants you to think it a part of the conjuring series to earn money, bad acting and bad special effects (zero) i could get more entertained by watching junkies go on a acid trip..

Worst i ever seen

[eden_eriksson · 1/10 · 20 June 2021]

Worst i ever seen! OMG! Just buy a mask at dollar store and go make your self a move.wtf.

Terrible special effects!

[martin-52-435621 · 1/10 · 10 July 2021]

What seems to be a good storyline is totally destroyed by special effects so terrible that they would have been rejected when Peter Jackson did the Feebles!

Not even movies from the 1950s have SFX this bad! And it completely destroys the movie.

Conjuring the boredom...

[paul_haakonsen · 2/10 · 28 July 2021]

Granted, I wasn't exactly harboring much of any high expectations or hopes for the movie "Conjuring the Genie" (aka "Devil Djinn") as I sat down to watch it. Sure, I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to watching it.

First of all, the movie starts out with a misspelled title on the screen. Yeah, they had an extra O in the movie's title, as it appeared as "Conjouring the Genie". Odd, I think.

And let's just say that writer and director Scott Jeffrey didn't exactly manage to deliver a particularly wholesome movie here.

Sure, I mean the concept idea is adequate enough, but not outstanding and something that has been seen and done before, as this was about young people summoning a djinn (or genie) for granting wishes, but the creature that appears is a monstrously being that twists and perverts the wishes of those summoning it. "Wishmaster" anyone?

The acting in this 2021 movie was mundane and rather uninspiring. I am sure that the actors and actresses put on adequate enough performances, I just wasn't particularly impressed with what I saw. And it should be said that the actors and actresses didn't exactly have the best of scripts or well-written characters to work with here in "Conjuring the Genie".

Then there was the djinn. Wow. Just wow. This was nothing more than a latex Halloween mask with some added gloss or slime for effect. It was just laughably bad to witness. Especially since there was absolutely no gestures or expressions on the mask when the djinn spoke, as it was just a single whole sculpted mask with no articulation. It was just phenomenally bad to see.

I gave up on "Conjuring the Genie" halfway through, as nothing of any interest had happened and I had found no entertainment in the movie. And for this being a horror movie, well... I suppose if you consider wasting your time on nothing as horror, then by all means.

My rating of "Conjuring the Genie" (or "Devil Djinn") lands on a two out of ten stars. It amazes me that movies such as this get the funding to get to see the light of day. You might want to do yourself a favor and skip on this particular movie.

Poundland Genie

[mradarley-47661 · 2/10 · 26 July 2021]

This film is fantastic.....ly awful I mean seriously it's brilliant......ly terrible. It's beautifully disastrous etc ok enough.

The acting is my favourite part, staggered dialogue, more wood than a timber yard etc. It's my first outing with this director (and probably my last) but having done some digging looks like he's done a bit of copying and pasting from a film he made called 'The Cupid?'

I watched it because I liked the look of the demon but boy oh boy was it bad. I'm sure Poundland has a similar range of masks if you fancy making part two of this movie.

What I can say is that it did make me laugh, genuinely. Granted I was laughing at how bad it was but still a laughs a laugh. If you've had a drink, got some mates round or you and your partner fancy something to laugh at stick it on! I watched it on YouTube so at least I didn't pay to view.

P. S. If you do plan on watching it I advise a few 'Djinn and Tonics' before, during and after! See what I did there? I'm here all week. Thank you and good night .

Acting: more wood than a timber yard

[chris-j-chuba · 1/10 · 29 July 2021]

'The acting is my favorite part, staggered dialogue, more wood than a timber yard.'

I lifted this word for word from another review because all of us have seen badly written, low budget movies but it was almost as if the actors had to pad this out to 1hr 26m

See the Wishmaster series for a better version of the twisted djinn, W4 was a strong rebound from the weak W3. 'W2: Evil never dies' even says the name of the movie in the movie and you can repeat for your amusement ... Evil .. Never ... Dies. I am easily amused but even I think poorly of this one.

So bad

[oskarnilsson-18895 · 1/10 · 18 June 2021]

Worst movie ever made by anyone ever since humans started making movies.. 90 mins of my life I'll never get back.

Best horror movie poster ever

[vyvavy · 10/10 · 13 December 2021]

I don't know about the others, but one poster is terribly frightening. He reminds me of the old movie The Grinch. You can tell by looking at the poster without needing to mention the contents.

It's not a bad movie

[utototo · 7/10 · 15 November 2021]

I respect they made this kind of film this year.

Maybe they are so courageous...? It's a movie that shows everything you can show while saving your budget.

Not worth it

[metanoianoceur · 2/10 · 25 July 2021]

If someone sees something resembling a monster, the appropriate reaction is to scream, not act like this creature is the creep next door. So disappointed. How is the trailer so good and the acting so bad?!

FFS!

[comicmank1 · 1/10 · 2 August 2021]

This movie was UNBELIEVABLY bad. I love horror movies, and the only thing horrifying about this was that it was made. TERRIBLE movie. Don't waste your time.

copycat

[curse-of-egypt · 1/10 · 3 November 2021]

OMG another movie containing the Djinn. Should've called it Wishmaster V or something like that. Its the same thing just a different story line BORING.

Has its moments..

[kittenmittenz · 5/10 · 12 March 2023]

As with other reviews, I absolutely agree this is a terrible movie but one of those that's worth watching if you want a bit of a laugh and don't want a movie that is going to make you think. Very predictable and a bit silly. Definitely one you can easily watch by yourself if you get scared easy as the effects are in no way scary. The jumpscares you expect to happen are disappointingly not scary at all. You will defo need subtitles for the actors who mumble but the sound levels aren't too bad with this one, apart from the loud music that plays every time the Djinn makes an appearance. This covers the dialogue completely.

If you want an easy watch with a few unintentionally funny bits, I'd recommend but it isn't a movie I'd ever waste time on again.

It's not that bad of a movie

[rarurual · 5/10 · 13 December 2021]

Horror movies can be made on a lower budget than you think. There are clearly limitations there, but it is noticeable that the producers put so much effort into it.

Another horror movie

[goddlendkj · 5/10 · 3 January 2022]

After all, horror movies are the least expensive to produce... It is a low-budget work that does not deviate from the unwritten rules. Perhaps the rest of the budget was used to decorate the poster.

You'll wish you never saw it! 🌻

[Foreverisacastironmess123 · 1/10 · 20 September 2022]

Urg this was just horrible, I could tell it was going to be as soon as I got a good look at the 'djinn', which looked like a Halloween mask of which the mouth didn't move. The acting was worse than a bad British soap opera, the kills were so lame and consisted off things like a girl who wished to be pregnant so the genie makes her a real life "mummy" and wrapped her in killer bandages I guess, another girl wished to look perfect so he made her into a crappy looking life size doll and made her dance like a puppet..the genie had a Brit accent, it was so stupid and campy, and it slightly rips off Wishmaster, a movie more entertainment than this piece of tosh could hope to be in a million years! So no no, this film is not for me, I dare say it's for absolutely no one on the face of the earth. Terrible everything really, and an insult to the evil genie genre!

It'll send you to sleep

[Leofwine_draca · 3/10 · 6 February 2023]

Britain has seen a resurgence of indie horror in recent years, and CONJURING THE GENIE is one such movie. It has pretty good production values compared to many similarly-themed indies, but that doesn't make it much cop. Indeed, this is less a CONJURING rip-off than a WISHMASTER cash-in, with an ancient amulet unleashing a genie who looks like a guy in a full-body Halloween costume. The story that follows is limited and laboured, with a heck of a lot of gabble and very little in the way of on-screen action or plot development. The actors aren't the worst, but the execution is enough to send you to sleep.

Good Movie

[igalaxystar · 10/10 · 12 June 2021]

Is this, I Dream of Genie? Of course not! Lol That genie monster will give you bad wishes that turn out to be Negative, becareful what you wish for.

Grant me my wish!!

[MarioSpidAGaray · 7/10 · 9 April 2023]

I for one liked it. Story line was good , acting was good, lighting could have been darker (maybe shot at night) but definitely a good first time watch. Takes place in the U. K and turns out their is a sequel so looking forward to watching that. I dig a human in costume but this demon costume could have been more believable. He kept talking and demon looked like he kept throwing his voice but hey, I love HORROR and because of that I say, go watch it! Keeps asking we make it longer so go follow us on the Coming Soon Podcast and help us help you. Loading up part 2 now. Enjoy the film and bring popcorn!

Not interesting and exciting...

[jouivizu · 5/10 · 14 December 2021]

I don't know what kind of horror you want to talk about. Of course, it would be scary if a scary entity bothered me, but I think I would also be annoyed. Bullying for no reason is no fun.

Horror movies with low budget.

[corinnnnnne · 5/10 · 15 November 2021]

The monster makeup was somewhat crude due to a lack of budget, but the actors' acting was good. I'm looking forward to the actors' next appearance. I think horror movies are a good genre for various actors.

good

[latenight-96811 · 10/10 · 17 November 2021]

It's a film that you can't help but be surprised by. Horror movies require surprising scenes, so if you are a horror movie fan, you will love it.

Watch by yourself while eating popcorn.
